Thousands of people from across Los Angeles gathered in Dickson Court on Sunday for the Farhang Foundation’s 14th annual celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year.
With nearly a thousand Bruins and community members in attendance, March’s First Thursdays event livened up Broxton Avenue and Westwood Village with sports, art installations and food.
A $24.5 million pledge from “The Big Bang Theory” co-creator Chuck Lorre’s foundation is set to create a new universe for Bruins in STEM.
The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation has provided scholarships, mentorship and support to incoming freshmen with financial need via The Big Bang Theory Scholarship since 2015.
Hundreds of Bruins and Angelenos gathered on Broxton Avenue with their loved ones last Saturday for the Broxton Nights Sweetheart Market.
On the second Saturday of every month, Broxton Avenue is closed to traffic and transformed into a night market for the community.
Medical, dental and nursing students joined a collaborative blood drive Friday to collect donations for patients at UCLA Health hospitals.
The drive, which took place at Geffen Hall, was hosted by the Blood Donation Initiative at the David Geffen School of Medicine in partnership with groups including the UCLA Mobile Clinic Project and NMDP – formerly known as the National Marrow Donor Program and Be The Match.
The December edition of First Thursdays took over Broxton Avenue on Thursday night, featuring a “Let There Be Light” theme.
The monthly First Thursdays event series began in March 2022 and has welcomed over 55,000 guests since then, said Eddie North-Hager, a UCLA spokesperson, adding that this month’s event aimed to highlight Bruins and their creativity – from a cappella performances to poets composing live pieces on type-writers.
Bruins gathered on Wilson Plaza on Thursday for music, soft serve ice cream and lawn games during the November edition of First Thursdays.
The event series, which is hosted by UCLA, launched in March 2022 with the goal of bringing the community together.
